Many people believe real estate business is more profitable than investing bitcoin so they shift focus to investing in real estate business. I think bitcoin is more profitable especially in a time like this that the price is down you can buy in large quantities and sell when the price is up but real estate needs lot of capital. What do you think?
it really depends on your goals, ethics and risk appetite. real estate is probably less profitable,
if bitcoin's upwards volatility continues. that's a big "if". real estate also requires more capital. but it's also generally viewed as a very safe investment that will eventually ROI, even if you have to hold through a housing market crash.
i'm much more comfortable ethically with speculating on bitcoin than i am with landlording and things like that. so that's another consideration.
bitcoin is better
think about it. having a house for 20 years you end up having to replace boilers, update/modernise the kitchen, re-slate the roof. on going lawn maintenance. and also the outside paint/decorating to hide natures ware and tear on the property
bitcoin doesnt have these hidden extra's. once you buy a bit of a coin that bit is yours. no on-going costs.
so any fiat inflation or asset deflation gives your asset(coin) instant profit
you can live in a house. you can't live in a bitcoin. it's not so black and white.
